@jkuvakas thanks John, it intrigues me as to what actually happened while the car was here, what it was used for and where. Especially this bit:

 "Following a harrowing escape from the Castro regime, the Plainsman saw use in Mexico, Australia (where it was converted by law to right-hand drive)"

So it must have been driven, and extensively as the conversion would not have been a simple task on a one off car. And then the conversion back again?

A true vehicular mystery!

@sizedoesmatter thanks John, appreciate that, great overall piece. I'm just so intrigued by what the car "got up to" over here! I'll have a go over the weekend.
